Name Location Comments
Kevin M. Cahalane Quincy, Massachusetts Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Kerry D. Caldwell Mountain View, Wyoming Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
E. Callahan (not given) Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Alex Calvo Dayton, Ohio A stamp honor for Audie is long overdue! I enjoyed Sue Gossett's book about A. Murphy, every fan should read it.
Wesley E. Campbell, Sr. Wilkinson, Indiana Mr. Runyon, in these times where the youth of America have no real heroes to lookup to they need a real hero like Audie Murphy ... not a cartoon. Watch his movies and go to Washington and visit his grave. Praise a real hero.
Joe Canfield North Port, Florida Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
John C. Cannon Hunter Army-Air Force Base, Georgia There are only a few soldiers in American history with the guts this one had... he should be remembered with anything we can give to his memory and bravery.
Jacque L. Carlo Las Vegas, Nevada Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Patricia Carroll Brampton, Ontario I cannot or even begin to think who would be more deserving of a commemorative stamp than Audie Murphy who when only a boy fought for his country and probably contributed more than anyone in WWII to rid the world of evil. A credit to his country, so let the USA do credit to him and issue a stamp in his honour. It's a funny world saved. Cowards can become presidents and heroes can be forgotten. Heres to the greatest hero the USA ever produced.
Netty Caron Ralegeur, Belgium As the winner of one of my country's highest medals for valor and heroism, Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Russell F. Carpenter, Active Army Eden, North Carolina Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Michael J. Carroll Fort Richardson, Alaska Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Christopher M. Carter Killeen, Texas I don't know what criteria the postal system uses to select who gets a stamp but if it is merely popularity of the subject then that explains why Bugs Bunny would get a stamp and Audie would not. However, I know that you have had stamps made of characters infinitely more unknown to the current population than Audie Leon Murphy. Audie Murphy is very important to those of us in the military. His exclusion from the face of a commemorative stamp is simply another indication that our country truly appreciates its fighting men and women only on Memorial Day and during times of crisis. Please let this not be the case. I am struggling to make a career of the military and everyday see examples of why I should just give it up and look out for number one. Luckily, my sergeants instilled a sense of selfless service in me. Audie L. Murphy had that and more. Please honor him with a four stamp series.
Mike Carter, Retired Marine Corps Virginia Beach, Virginia Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Steven Casciola Beverly Hills, California This petition deserves consideration and action. I was born in 1948 but it is still relevant and important that we honor the real heroes of the past that have made such enormous sacrifices for our freedom today and tomorrow.
Catherine Casterline Anna, Texas Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Alicia Cate Dubuque, Iowa Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Paul Cavaliere, Citizen Summit Point, West Virginia A national hero of this magnitude should be honored just like the rest of the people who end up with their faces on US Postage stamps.
John R. Champlin Warwick, Rhode Island Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Beverly J. Chapman Stephens City, Virginia Mr. Runyon,

Surely, Audie Murphy is more deserving of at least one commemorative stamp as well as an entire commemorative stamp series. Many celebrities and cartoon characters that have already been so honored never did anywhere near as much for our country as Audie Murphy did.
Patrick Chellino Las Vegas, Nevada Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Cheryl Cheng Ann Arbor, Michigan Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Bill Cherry Fort Collins, Colorado We should use our commemorative stamp series to honor individuals with traits that are positive and beyond that of the average person. I know of no one person who had more courage under adversity than Audie Murphy. He deserves recognition for this courage and bravery.
Darrel J. Cherry Wheaton, Maryland I live near the nation's capitol and have many "out of town" visitors. As I show them around, I always make sure they visit my favorite memorial spot ... Audie Murphy's headstone in Arlington National Cemetery (near a walk behind the tomb of the Unknown Soldier). Audie Murphy is a true American hero and deserves recognition as such
Rich Cherry Austin, Texas Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Thomas S. Chiancone, Jr., Veteran Greenville, North Carolina I cannot believe a hero like Murphy can not have a stamp when monsters and cartoons can.
Chris Childs Salt Lake City, Utah You are an air-head if you don't authorize a stamp for Audie Murphy.
Donald W. Childs Riverton, Utah I think that we too often forget who our real heroes are. They are the ones who have laid their lives on the line for all of us. This young man certainly deserves to be honored. Let's do it without further delay.
Kathryn Jean Childs Salt Lake City, Utah I think he was definitely a hero and should be honored by a commemorative stamp.
Kenneth Lee Childs Salt Lake City, Utah Audie Murphy was a real brave guy and loved our country very much. He has more right to be put on a stamp than Bugs Bunny and a lot of others that are on stamps. I am 12 years old and a big fan of Audie Murphy.
Lula Childs Riverton, Utah I always liked him and he deserves a stamp. I am 92 years old. I have seen a lot through the years and everyone should remember Audie Murphy. Please authorize a commemorative stamp for him.
M. Terry Childs Salt Lake City, Utah I think it's about time something like this was done. We have a lot of miltary people in our family and we are proud of them. Audie Murphy should certainly be honored with a commemorative stamp.
Patricia Childs Las Vegas, Nevada This is long past due!
Terry E. Childs Salt Lake City, Utah As our most decorated hero of World War II, he definitely deserves this honor. He was a movie star, but before that, he was giving each day of his life for nearly 4 years to defend his country. A truely great American.
Terry Jean Childs Salt Lake City, Utah Why don't we honor a hero who very much earned such an honor, many times over? Audie Murphy certainly deserves a commemorative stamp.
Ric Chilson, Veteran Indianapolis, Indiana We see in this day and age a complete lack of regard for those that gave their all for the freedoms this country of ours has to offer. We have stamps that honor everything from pets to cartoon characters but why not the heroes who sacrificed their youth so that all of us could have the rights that were/are denied to so many millions around the world. As a veteran, with a son currently serving in the combat arms, I sincerely ask that you consider this request.
Wayne Christensen Ranier, Washington Let's look to what a true American has done for his country.
Hubert Claeys Gent, Belgium As the winner of one of my country's highest medals for valor and heroism, Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Marie-Rose Claeys Geraardsbergen, Belgium As the winner of one of my country's highest medals for valor and heroism, Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Nestor Claeys Bouyon, France As the winner of several of my country's highest medals for valor and heroism, Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Roger Claeys Gent, Belgium As the winner of one of my country's highest medals for valor and heroism, Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Sophie Claeys Gent, Belgium As the winner of one of my country's highest medals for valor and heroism, Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Stephanie Claeys Gent, Belgium As the winner of one of my country's highest medals for valor and heroism, Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Berdette Clark Moapa, Nevada Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Brett Clark, Educator Englewood, Colorado Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
SGT Fred A. Clark Fort Sill, Oklahoma If you can make a stamp of a drugged up rock star (Elvis), I would hope there is still enough love of country to honor a World War II HERO.
Ken Clark Brainerd, Minnesota Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
James Cleary Yonkers, New York Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Judy Clemens Milford Michigan Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.

William Coats Rockwall, (state not given) Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Joanne Coates, Student Mainesburg, Pennsylvania Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
LT Leon O. Cohran, USN-Ret Yellville, Arkansas If we can honor a duck, deer, bird, or even an individual who contributed absolutely nothing other than bad acting, nude pictures, three failed marriages, and died of a drug overdose, why can't we honor a great man who gave his all for his fellow soldiers and this nation.
Mary Ellen Coghlan Warwick, New York Audie Murphy is a national treasure. It would be a disgrace not to honor him with a stamp series especially when so many other less deserving persons have been honored. I know the Postal Service makes a lot of money on commemorative stamps since many are unused. I hope that profits are not the sole motivation of commemorative stamps. Audie Murphy's dedication to his country, his valor, and his heroism should always be honored. Please issue stamps in his honor so that the memory of this hero does not wane.
MAJ (Ret) William H. Coke Lawton, Oklahoma I can't believe that we continue to honor rock stars and other non-elites and don't honor our true American heroes so that their memory and our legacy of freedom in the United States won't be remembered. In this day of forgotten values our young people need the Audie Murphy's of the United States as a significant contribution to American Citizenship!
SRA George D. Coker, III Abilene, Texas If you can put cartoons, singers, and movie people on a stamp, I feel it would be a disgrace to a national hero, Audie Murphy, if he did not receive this honor from the country he defended so courageously.
Spencer Coker Greenville, Texas Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Brent Collier Indiana audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Esteen R. Collins, Professional San Antonio, Texas Audie was a great role model and a national treasure. The least this nation could do is honor his memory and what he did for this nation with a stamp series.
Timothy P. Collins Wasilla, Alaska Audie should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Perry J. Colomb, Student Plattsburgh, New York Audie Murphy was always one of my heroes while growing up. He was and is an American hero of the highest standard and should be honored with a commemorative stamp.
Dennis H. Colvin Mapleton, Utah Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
William E. Conkling Pittsfield, Illinois Dear Postmaster General:
Elvis wrote songs. Audie L. Murphy fought for his country and saved lives and helped to preserve our freedom with outstanding achievements. He deserves his recognition. Please Sir, give Audie L. Murphy the stamp series he deserves. Thank you.
Harold Conner Cookville, Texas Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Robin Conner, Eduator Belton, Texas This honorable man deserves this recognition! Our youth deserves this hero!
Trenton J. Conner (not given) Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Audie Contreras La Habra, California Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
A. Brent Cook Hinesville, Georgia Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Steve Cook Korea I find it difficult to believe that we can honor the Chinese New Year with 2 stamps, wild flowers with an entire stamp series, and even comedians, and yet we still have not honored Audie Murphy with at least a stamp. The man and what he represents, selflessness, and devotion to God, country, and others above and beyond the call of duty.
William M. Coop, Retired Air Force Napa, California A veteran of such high military character as Audie Murphy should indeed be honored with a U.S. Postage stamp series. I look back on some of the persons who have received this honor (of postage stamps named after them) and they are not worthy to have had the honor of tying Audie's boots.
Carlos Cornejo Las Vegas, Nevada He deserves an entire stamp series.
James Cossey Fayetteville, North Carolina Mr. Murphy was a great American Hero and the best possible role model for all people.
Robert N. Coulter Newnan, Georgia Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Mike Cowan Redondo Beach, California Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Chandler K. Cox Killeen, Texas I'm surprised he hasn't already been honored with one.
Finni Coxum, Educator Killeen, Texas Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Kris L. Cox Louisville, Kentucky Well??? We're waiting...
Benjamin Craft Riverdale, Georgia Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Kevin B. Craig Nash, Texas Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
William Craig, Citizen (not given) This is the most decorated soldier of WWII. Why isn't there a stamp to not only honor his memory, but to keep alive the enormous contribution and sacrifices he made? Future generations of Americans must know about Audie Murphy and his valor. There should have been a stamp long before now - I don't understand why there hasn't been a series. This is an important man in American history and in WWII. Surely, he will not continue to be overlooked - if so, something is terribly unbalanced in how these decisions are made. Honor America with her greatness - honor Audie. Thank you.
Darla Crank Turkey, Kentucky Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Franklin R. Crawford Delta, Ohio Audie was a great American and certainly deserves a series of stamps much more than Bugs Bunny and Bugs is an OK American icon of heroism but Audie Murphy is a true American HERO. Lut us not be diverted from the true image of heroism, for when this becomes the norm, we have lost our true understanding of the meaning of what a real hero is!!!
David Creswell Jackson, Tennessee Where is your American pride? Audie Murphy is quite possibly the greatest role model for all Americans there ever has been. You should be ashamed of yourself for denying the stamp. All American war heroes should be honored. Don't be so ridiculous. Bugs Bunny has never done anything in comparison.
Brent Crummey San Antonio, Texas I would like to ask you why the postal service would honor actors and athletes instead of many soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen who not only served our great nation, but time and again put their lives in jeapordy to keep our nation free? Few people make the small sacrifice to serve our country much less make the greater sacrifice of putting one's life in danger to defend our country. We service members travel to foreign lands to prevent any hostilities before they reach our shores. Unfortunately, the situation may cost service members their lives. Did Elvis or Marilyn contribute as much to our nation as Audie Murphy?
Michael H. Crutcher, Retired Army Carlisle, Pennsylvania To understand where we are as a country, we need to understand where we have been and the sacrifices and accomplishments of those who went before us. It would be most appropriate to honor Audie Murphy with a postage stamp to remind the present generation of Americans of the valor and humanity of those who fought during World War II, and a stamp honoring Audie would do that.
Chris Curbo Lubbock, Texas Audie should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Carel Cullpepper Simms, Texas Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Sylvia Cullpepper Simms, Texas It is time we honor our most decorated hero!
Thomas E. Cummings Dayton, Ohio It is most important to show the respect and honor to this most decorated soldier in American history. A commemorative stamp would be most appropriate. Thanks for your consideration.
H. G. Cunningham Cabot, Arizona Please see the stamp is printed for this great fellow. Thank you.
James P. Curran Cary, North Carolina Rock of the Marne!
Darryl Curson, Professional Bloomington, Indiana Audie L. Murphy must not be forgotten. Please help to retain his memory and sacrifices for our country and way of life by approving his commemorative stamp series. Thank you.
Wayne Cutshaw Round Lake, Illinois We honor fish, flowers, cartoon characters, etc... so why would we not honor America's most decorated soldier?
Ed Czekanski Oakland Park, Florida If anyone ever deserved to be on a postage stamp ... Audie L. Murphy does! It's the least this country can do for a man of his stature.
